Postpartum Support
Postpartum support is important for new mothers as they navigate the challenges of caring for a newborn while recovering physically and emotionally. Seeking support from trusted professionals can help alleviate feelings of stress, anxiety, and isolation that often accompany this transition. Sunnyside Up Youth Pregnancy Services offers a range of support services, including counseling, education, and peer support groups, to help young parents adjust to life with a new baby and ensure the best possible outcomes for both parent and child. Take a look at our postpartum support services below.
How it Works
Once you arrive home, we will send a postpartum doula to your home to help you get settled and comfortable at home. Your doula will be there to answer questions, offer resources and referrals, and allow you personal time to rest and recover from birth.
Our goal is for mothers and newborns to have access to quality maternal and child health services. Each visit will last 4 hours allowing the family, mom, in particular, to rest, have a quality meal, and focus on her personal care.
Our doulas and support team will come to you as required. If you want more complete Postpartum Support, consider Be Well at Home, our 16-week Postpartum program which offers more time and access to our Doula team.
